Tradeoff between mixing and transport for electroosmotic flow in heterogeneous microchannels with nonuniform surface potentials

Electroosmotic flow (EOF) is a phenomenon associated with the movement of an aqueous solution induced by the application of an electric field in microchannels. The characteristics of EOF depend on the nature of the surface potential, i.e., whether it is uniform or nonuniform. In this paper, a lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) combined with the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is used to simulate flow field in a rectangular microchannel with nonuniform (step change) surface potentials. The simulation results indicate that local circulations can occur near a heterogeneous region with nonuniform surface potentials, in agreement with those by other authors. Largest circulations, which imply a highest mixing efficiency due to convection and short-range diffusion, were found when the average surface potential is zero, regardless of whether the distribution of the heterogeneous patches is symmetric or asymmetric. In this work, we have illustrated that there is a trade-off between the mixing and liquid transport in EOF microfluidics. One should not simply focus on mixing and neglect liquid transport, as performed in the literature. Excellent mixing could lead to a poor transport of electroosmotic flow in microchannels.     

高温超导体制备条件的人工神经网络识别

高温超导体的制备条件要求严格,其掺杂量大小、烧结温度控制等都直接影响实验样本的超导性质。近几年高温超导研究已积累大量实验数据,如何应用人工智能方法处理这些数据寻找更好的合成条件颇有意义。人工神经网络方法在许多领域己显示其处理复杂数据和模式识别的优越性,但尚未应用到化合物制备研究方面。本文对此作了初步尝试。     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and NLO Properties of a Novel Ruthenium(II) Complex with Unusual Coordination Mode

A new Schiff base 4-[N-hydroxyethyl-N-(methyl)amino]benzaldehyde S-methyl dithiocarbazate (HL, where H is a dissociable proton) and the ruthenium complex [Ru(bpy)₂L]PF₆ (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) have been synthesized. The structural determinations of the ligand and its ruthenium complex, by X-ray crystallography, show that the ligand is coordinated as a monoanionic bidentate N, S-donor, forming a four-member chelate ring with a bite angle of 65.91°. The complex shows intense MLCT transitions in the visible region. Fluorescent and electrochemical properties have been also studied. The complex in DMF solution exhibited a strong two-photon absorption (t.p.a.) at 532 nm nanosecond laser pulses. The t.p.a. coefficient β, t.p.a. cross-section σ and the third-order optical nonlinearity χ⁽³⁾ of the complex and the ligand have been determined by the Z-scan technique.
